Size:Thin Wall Socket

The Gorilla Power Wrench's 21" telescoping handle provides the leverage needed to remove even the tightest lug nuts with ease. Includes two thin wall sockets and one 3" extension, and works on both deep dish wheels and recessed lug holes.

I just bought this lug nut wrench and it seems to be very well made. When I actually use it I will add that to this review.

Right off, I very much agree with Tony Jaeger's review where he noted that this telescoping handle will enable additional leverage. I also agree with JR's review that the included 13/16" and 7/8" sockets do not fit snugly on 21mm and 23mm lug nuts.

So the included sockets may, or may not, meet your needs. In my case, the included 7/8" socket works great with my 2000 Toyota Camry stock lug nuts, my 2011 Scion xB stock lug nuts and the wheel lock keys for my McGard wheel locks and Gorilla spline drive lug nuts. However that same 7/8" socket is a sloppy fit on the lug nuts and wheel lock key for my 2008 Toyota Sienna with OEM alloy wheels. For that car, I'll need to get a 1/2" drive 21mm socket, like OEM Tools 22401 21mm Metric Socket or if I needed a deep socket version, then OEM Tools 22451 21mm Metric Deep Socket.

So my advice is, get this tool, but be aware that if the included sockets don't fit the lug nuts on your car, you may need to get a 1/2" drive metric socket.

Great lug wrench. I do a lot of work on my vehicles... Brakes, tire rotations, suspension etc... I find myself removing a tire or two ( if not all of them) often, for one job or another.. I have struggled for years trying to find sockets that fit these modern tin covered nuts. Most often they are distorted, dented, and difficult to torque to spec once you do get a socket on them. The factory tire iron/lug wrench became useless after the first or second time using it. This was the perfect solution. The double sided/sized sockets are surprisingly well made, the bar itself is tough, great handle, nice chrome finish, and of course the telescoping feature is brilliant... I bought new, solid lug nuts to replace the factory nuts. ( I strongly suggest this if you have the tin covered lug nuts.. Gorilla has many options, though mine were purchased from another company) Now I'm prepared for anything. Highly recommend this lug wrench.

Context: I have a full size Chevy truck and a full sized Nissan sedan.

Pros1) The sockets are built 2 sizes in 1. A size on either end of a socket. Sounded strange to me at first but the sockets go on snug from either end.2) The wrench is standard 1/2" drive so any 1/2 drive socket will fit the lug wrench.3) The wrench telescopes out to a length that should remove any stubborn lug nut; no problem.

Be advised: The sockets included with the lug wrench will not fit an ordinary ratchet or breaker bar. The sockets included are designed for this lug wrench.

Cons1) You will still need to buy a SHORT handle 4-way lug nut wrench. After you break the lug nut loose with the Gorilla, then you will want the short handle 4-way lug wrench to spin the lug nuts off quickly. If you have changed a tire then you know exactly what I mean. You need to change a tire quickly at night or on a busy interstate.

Verdict: I was glad I purchased this. If I had to do again I would possibly price out a heavy duty 24" breaker bar with separate deep well sockets. Just another solution that can be considered. Buy the cheaper of the two.

If you have a bad back or some other reason you can't use a standard tire iron then these are the ticket. The handle extends and gives you great leverage. I have one in every one of our cars. I also keep a couple in my workshop. It will use standard sockets so you can also use it to break stubborn nuts free as well but be aware of two things if you intend to use it... first, it is REALLY easy to strip your nut so use penetrating oil if you have to (I keep some in my car and in my shop)... second, if you have cheap sockets you can literally shatter a socket if you aren't careful.

I was looking for a very stout lug nut wrench and I found it. This wrench gives an amazing amount of torque which is helpful for larger tires that require higher torque levels. Also with modern Aluminum alloy wheels the Lug Nut channels are very skinny. This comes with the thin walled sockets that make it a snap to manage lug nuts on these modern wheels which I have. Overall this is a great product and is a welcome addition to my vehicle tool kit.

Despite the claim on the package, the provided sockets don't fit all cars. My Range Rover has 22mm nuts. Also build quality is disappointing, when i tried to extend it for the first time, I actually pulled the whole thing apart and a little metallic cylinder fell out - not sure if it was a part or just a random debris. All in all not impressive.

--UpdateFound out that my car lug nuts are actually 21mm - a reputable brand socket fits nicely. The provided sockets have such poor manufacturing that they don't fit.

A MUST HAVE for any full or part time mechanic.....trust me, this WILL come in handy. Well made and it works !As a add-on to my original review, I also wanted to mention that if any of you ever had your lug nuts tightened by a shop via impact wrench (air compressor) , than you'll know what I'm talking about....the torque is so high, that loosening the lug nuts via hand when you're having to change/fix a flat, is almost impossible. ...I'm a woman, and yes, I was able to loosen those bad boys with this tool without getting a hernia (lol), so ladies, if I can do it, trust me, anybody can. This is a must have for anybody, young or old, male or female. Easy storage and you will be glad you spent those few dollars!
